By the time Shi Lide's family moved out, it was late at night.

Ji Qingwen sent someone to bring dinner from the Yunlai Inn, and after eating it hastily, he led Sun Kuifa and the others around the courtyard.

Sun Kuifa, these miners followed Chen Wenzhao, who died, and the mines that have been digging in Yiwu for so many years are not in vain. I saw that they used the tools they found to lift the bluestone slabs in the yard, and it didn't take much effort to dig a deep pit for more than one person.

Sun Kuifa jumped down from the pit, explored it carefully, got up from the pit, patted the dirt on his trouser legs, and said to Ji Qingwen: "Sir, it's okay, it's all loess under here, there are no stones, it should be easy to dig." It's a pity that the soil is too loose, and I'm afraid that it will collapse and it will be easy to expose the filling......"

Ji Qingwen pondered for a moment and said, "I'm a layman in drilling holes, you say, what should I do?" ”

Sun Kuifa also thought about it. said: "Our brother should be careful when digging, for fear that there will be a big event in case the lord is broken." As...... It's not as good as ......."

"What's not as good as what? You say happily. Ji Qingwen said.

"It's better to ask the lord to buy a few courtyards next to here, so that it will collapse, and it will also collapse on our territory, and others will not know it, so naturally it will not be exposed." Sun Kui said.

Ji Qingwen was stunned when he heard this, and then smiled: "Okay, you have a good idea." This is called hiding from the sky and crossing the sea, covering the sky with one hand! ”

Sun Kuifa had never seen the world in the end, and when he was praised by Ji Qingwen like this, his face suddenly turned red: "I want to spend so much money to buy the courtyard next to it, I'm afraid that you will break the bank." ”

Ji Qingwen waved his hand and said, "As long as it is a problem that can be solved with money, it is not a problem." Lao Tzu has money, if he can get things done, he wants Lao Tzu to pay for the prison of the Criminal Department, and Lao Tzu doesn't even frown. ”

Saying that, Ji Qingwen paused, and said: "In this way, what I have now is money, but what I lack is time." Please start digging tonight, and tomorrow I will send someone to buy all the surrounding yards. ”

So Sun Kuifa and the others followed Ji Qingwen's instructions, and they were busy in the yard they had just bought. These people's digging skills are not low, but they don't dare to let go of their hands and feet in this tightly guarded Jingshi City, and they only dug a hole about a zhang deep vertically overnight, and then extended twenty or thirty steps from the bottom of the hole to the prison of the Criminal Department, and then they didn't dare to continue digging forward.

Early the next morning, Ji Qingwen went to the Shaanxi Chamber of Commerce, called the old servant Duo Jiugong, took the silver ticket, and bought the real estate around the original Shi Lide Courtyard at two or three times the market price.

Ji Qingwen's big gesture was like throwing a bomb in a dung pit, causing an uproar in the capital - everyone was speculating about what kind of moth this unexpected Fu Lubo was doing.

Ji Qingwen was also calm, so he simply came to him to make a plan and make a mistake, and announced in a high-profile manner that he was going to open a new money bank in the capital, and he would open it in the three or five days before he left Beijing, and then he would invite everyone to come over to eat and drink to congratulate him.

And whenever a new store opens, the old house must be renovated, so that Ji Qingwen will be able to dig tunnels in the yard with great fanfare, and no one can find fault with it.

In this way, Sun Fakui and other Yiwu miners worked overtime, fought at night, and it took only two days to extend a tunnel that could be used by one cat's waist to the prison of the Criminal Department.

But here comes the problem again.

Although this tunnel has been dug into the prison of the Criminal Department, it cannot be accurately located in the cell where Yuan Chonghuan is being held, so if it is dug rashly in this case

Passing through the tunnel will inevitably make the strategy fail - not only will Yuan Chonghuan not be able to fish out, but even Ji Qingwen will have to fall into the water.

Faced with such a situation, Ji Qingwen could only ask Sun Fakui for countermeasures.

Sun Fakui himself couldn't make up his mind, and after discussing with a few brothers, he suggested that Ji Qingwen go to the prison of the Criminal Department, try to walk a few steps and knock on the floor tiles, so that the miners under the ground could listen to the sound and determine the specific direction.

This is a problem for Ji Qingwen, you must know that Yuan Chonghuan has been condemned to death by Emperor Chongzhen, and Ji Qingwen has also tried to see Yuan Chonghuan once, but he was blocked by the officials of the prison of the Criminal Department, and now he wants to enter the prison again, it is really easy to talk about.

After thinking about it, Ji Qingwen still decided to find Zhou Xiuying, looking at this White Lotus Sect saintess (former) with strong martial arts, who could show great kung fu and show the experience of the rivers and lakes, and find a way to get mixed into the prison of the Criminal Department.

But Zhou Xiuying said: "Childe, it's not that I don't help." This prison of the Criminal Department goes in and out one way, and the people who do things inside and out are all acquaintances, so how easy is it to get in? Is it possible that I will be able to kill it from the front? ”

Zhou Xiuying's remarks reminded Ji Qingwen of a game called "Assassin's Creed" that he had played before crossing over. According to the game's premise, players should disguise themselves as assassins, secretly infiltrate the designated place and then assassinate the target to complete the mission; But some players who are not good at hiding can also turn on the "Musou mode", rush all the way in from the front, come to a "man block killing, Buddha block killing Buddha", and use stupid methods to complete the task.

But reality is different from games after all.

Even if his martial arts are as strong as Zhou Xiuying, there is absolutely no way to face dozens, hundreds, and prison officials of the Criminal Department in a small space. And if Ji Qingwen mobilized all the horses he brought into the capital to act, it would be needless to say whether it was successful or not, such a large-scale operation to rob the sky prison would be equivalent to declaring war on the entire Ming Dynasty, which was no different from hitting a stone with an egg.

This kind of stupid thing, Ji Qingwen can't do it.

What's more, if you can really rush in and take Yuan Chonghuan out, why bother digging any tunnels?

When he was at a loss, Li Yan on the side laughed.

Ji Qingwen knew that Li Yan was resourceful, and now that he laughed, he must have an idea, and hurriedly said: "Brother Li, when is it now, you are still selling Guanzi, if there is any way, you can say it quickly." ”

Li Yan was originally going to make a few jokes, but he was embarrassed to hear Ji Qingwen say this, so he said directly: "Brother Ji wants to go to the prison of the Criminal Department, I think you can find someone to walk the way, presumably he will not refuse." ”

"Looking for someone? Could it be that he went to find Wen Tiren? The surname Wen is an old fox, since the emperor convicted Yuan Chonghuan, this guy hasn't been out of the hole for a long time, and he wants him to help me go to the prison of the Criminal Department? Isn't that a joke? Ji Qingwen said.

Li Yan said with a smile: "Brother Ji really has the wisdom to know people, but I am not a stupid person. Of course, I'm not talking about Wen Cifu, I'm talking about the commander of Jinyiwei - Luo Yangxing! ”

"What? Luo Yangxing? Brother Li isn't kidding me, is he? This guy is my opponent, ask him for help? It's good if he doesn't fall into the ground. ”

"No, no, no." Li Yan said, "Brother Ji, this is a mistake. Although Brother Ji was somewhat snubbed by the emperor because of Inspector Yuan's affairs, he was still a well-known celebrity in front of the saint after all. Luo Yangxing is a person who understands current affairs, and he doesn't dare to tear his face with Brother Ji in person. As long as Brother Ji puts down his body and begs him, he will not refuse nine times out of ten. ”

Ji Qingwen listened, Shen

Shen glanced at Li Yan and said, "Alas! But if I want to beg Luo Yangxing, this sinister guy, I'm still a little unwilling......"

Having said that, there is really no better way now, after complaining, Ji Qingwen still prepared some gifts, called Li Yuanyin, the commander of the Jinyi Guard, to introduce him, and went to the Yamen of the Jinyi Guard.

In order to prevent Luo Yang's sexual tricks, Ji Qingwen also deliberately asked Zhou Xiuying to disguise herself as a man and dress up as a young guard to go with her.

The Jinyi Wei Yamen specializes in interrogating criminal officials and Jiangyang thieves, and ordinary people are afraid to avoid them, so they will not approach easily at all, and the guards are also extremely strict.

Therefore, when the brocade-clothed guards guarding the door saw Ji Qingwen and the three approaching, they shouted loudly from a distance: "Hey, do you know what kind of place this is?" Don't turn around and leave! ”

Although Ji Qingwen came here reluctantly, he also felt that Luo Yangxing might not be able to let him go to the prison of the Criminal Department to see Yuan Chonghuan, but he was quite interested in Jinyi Wei Yamen and wanted to go in and take a look.

Therefore, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he said to Li Yuanyin: "Commander Li, it seems that you don't care about the Jinyi Guard, and such a little minion dares to yell at you." ”

Li Yuanyin's face turned red, but he didn't answer, he took two steps forward and said to the sergeant, "New here, right?" I am Li Yuanyin, the commander of Jinyiwei, and I went to report it, and said that I led Lord Fu Lu to find Commander Luo. ”

The sergeant was taken aback when he saw this, and was stunned for a moment before he said, "It turns out that you are Commander Li!" Are you my master's master, or my master's savior! It's the villain who has eyes and doesn't know Mount Tai, please come in, please come in, Commander Luo is in the yamen now. ”

Li Yuanyin nodded, arched his hand towards Ji Qingwen, and walked in first.

Ji Qingwen hurriedly walked a few steps and asked in Li Yuanyin's ear: "Commander Li, that minion just now said that you saved his master's life, what's going on?" ”

Li Yuanyin shook his head blankly and said, "Actually, I don't even know who his master is, how can I remember how I saved his life?" In fact, I don't know how many people I helped, and there are not a few people who have offended, and I don't know where to start with this account......"

As he spoke, Li Yuanyin sighed heavily.

Ji Qingwen also sighed, and was about to speak, but heard Li Yuanyin say: "Sir, you see that there is the yamen lobby in front of you, and I will go and report for you, don't move here." ”

With that, Li Yuanyin walked forward.

Taking this opportunity, Ji Qingwen looked up and looked around, and saw that the yamen was spotlessly cleaned, and everything was set up and placed in a very orderly manner, showing a calm and awe-inspiring majesty.

But Ji Qingwen was in the middle of it, but he felt unspeakably uncomfortable all over his body, and couldn't help but say to Zhou Xiuying beside him: "Xiuying, I should always look eerie and terrifying when I was a brocade guard, but I didn't expect it to be cleaned up and down so cleanly, like a nunnery......"

Zhou Xiuying had an obvious vigilant expression on her face, and her two charming and moving eyes kept scanning left and right, looking up and down, and replied, "It's good that this is a nunnery." Before our White Lotus Sect, there were many believers, and after they were captured, they were sent here to be tortured. Childe, look at the dozens of water and fire sticks leaning against the wall, and among the mottled blood stains on them, many of them belong to brothers and sisters in the church. ”

Ji Qingwen looked towards the wall, and sure enough, he saw a group of bowl-thick sticks neatly stacked. Although the stick was wiped clean, it could not clean the blackened blood stains from the head of the stick in any way, and it seemed to haunt the moans and weepings of countless people.
